ANHUNG Launches ABLQ-17/50 15kV 200A Elbow Surge Arrester

IEEE 386-compliant deadfront protection with traceable factory-verified quality

ANHUNG, a manufacturer of high-voltage power distribution components, has officially released the ABLQ-17/50 elbow surge arrester, a 15kV 200A shielded deadfront solution built for underground power systems. The product delivers standardized overvoltage protection for field installations, backed by a formal quality control framework and verified industry compliance.

1. Core Design & Protective Function

The ABLQ-17/50 surge arrester combines a metal oxide varistor module inside a rubber elbow housing to provide overvoltage protection for power distribution systems. Its fully enclosed, shielded design contains all conductive components within an insulated exterior, supporting deadfront operation that reduces arc and contact hazards in compact installation spaces.

2. Compliance with IEEE Standard 386

The ABLQ-17/50 meets the requirements of IEEE Standard 386, the widely recognized industry specification for deadbreak elbow connectors and associated protection devices in underground distribution networks. Adherence to this standard confirms the product’s design aligns with established industry benchmarks for safety, interoperability and performance consistency.

3. Three-Tier Quality Guarantee System

To ensure uniform reliability across every unit produced, ANHUNG enforces a structured quality assurance framework for the ABLQ-17/50:

• · Periodic X-Ray analysis: Routine internal imaging inspections verify internal structural integrity and accurate component assembly.
• · 100% pre-delivery testing: Each individual arrester body is tested for AC withstand voltage and partial discharge before leaving the factory.
• · Full traceability via QR code: Every unit carries a unique QR code, enabling 100% traceability across production, testing and delivery stages of the product lifecycle.

4. Target Field Applications

The ABLQ-17/50 is designed for application on underground power systems, where it provides shielded deadfront arrester protection for a range of distribution infrastructure:

• · Pad-mounted transformers
• · Entry cabinets
• · Vaults
• · Switching devices
• · Other insulated distribution equipment

The ABLQ-17/50 elbow surge arrester is currently available for bulk orders worldwide. Customers may contact ANHUNG’s sales team for complete technical datasheets, sample requests and custom quotation services.
